One thing I'm curious about is why The New Scooby Doo and Saturday Superstar Movies were listed in TVG as "Movie", while the "CBS Children's Film Festival" was listed as such?

According to Wikipedia's article on CIII, it was mentioned that 22 Cottam (at least) went dark later on when an American program aired on Global. Anyone know if there's any truth to that, or did 22 Cottam always shown alternate programming?

...who was practically the Quebecois' answer to Donny Osmond.

6:30 Uncle Bobby (Baton Broadcasting, who owned Toronto CTV station CFTO, was majority owner of CKLW (CBC had the rest) and carried some of CFTO's programming here)

The CTV programming (at least those produced by CFTO) remained after CBC bought Baton's stare and renamed the station CBET -- mainly as filler programming to replace CBC's American network programming blacked out in Detroit.

Nope, only 2/4/7/50 were listed from Detroit in the Western Ontario edition at the time.

That being said, I wonder if the Detroit Edition of TVG was sold in Windsor and Western Ontario was sold in other parts of the region, as Windsor viewers could get almost every station from Detroit and Toledo (whose stations were also not in this edition at the time)?
